Want more qualified appointments without racing to the bottom on price? Marketing leader Ken Tucker (Changescape Web) breaks down a practical AI speed-to-lead system for home builders, covering AI phone assistants, OSC roles, answer-engine optimization, and a content machine that actually moves the needle.

What you’ll learn

• Why “first response wins” (and how AI makes it instant—24/7)
• AI voice/chat setup: FAQs, escalation rules, booked-appointment targets
• Where OSCs fit next to AI (and how to keep the “talk to a human” option)
• Tech stack sanity: CRM + ops tools, APIs/Zapier, and subscription audits
• Content flywheel: short videos → blogs → social → press → email
• Answer-Engine Optimization (AEO): schema, local SEO, reviews, Reddit/LinkedIn signals
